Self-Surfacing Fishing Traps : ropeless RISER

Ropeless Systems, Inc. has acquired the exclusive rights to the Ropeless RISER, a revolutionary fishing technology developed by DBV Technology. The Ropeless RISER is a system that allows fishermen to fish without the use of ropes, making the fishing process more efficient and environmentally friendly. The system enables fishermen to steam to their fishing location, view the actual location of their traps on a chartplotter, and call them to the surface with the touch of a button. This eliminates the need for GPS coordinates, referencing to a database, and ship maneuvers for acoustic surveys.

The Ropeless RISER is designed for single traps and shallow water trawls and can be installed directly to the outside of any lobster or crab trap. The deep water anchor configuration of the Ropeless RISER is equipped with a larger air cylinder and lift bag to increase depth and lift capacity when fishing multi-trap trawls. This makes it ideal for offshore lobster and crab fishing.

The Ropeless RISER features a technique called Single Ping Positioning, which allows the system to locate submerged traps while approaching a fishing location without special ship maneuvers. This technology also prevents continuous interrogations from passing ships, saving battery life on submerged systems and ensuring a safe recovery.

Ropeless Systems’ Ropeless RISER is a game-changer in the fishing industry, offering a more efficient, eco-friendly, and safer way to fish. It’s an innovative solution that eliminates the need for ropes and provides real-time data and control, streamlining the fishing process and making it easier and more sustainable. If you’re looking for a modern and efficient fishing solution, the Ropeless RISER is a great option to consider.
